Job Posting Crawler

This is code that will pull each job posting for a specific job title in a specific location (or Nationally) and return / plot the percentage of the postings that have certain keywords. The code is set up to search for all words except stopwords, and other user-defined words (there is probably a much more efficient way of doing this, but I had no need to change this once I had the code running). This allows the user to see common technical skills, as well as common soft skills that should be included on a resume.

NOTE: I got this idea from https://jessesw.com/Data-Science-Skills/. Obviously, just using his code would be of no real benefit to me, as I wanted to use the idea to help better my skills with scraping data from HTML files. So, I used his idea and developed my own code from scratch. I also modified the overall process a bit to better fit my needs.

NOTE2: This code will not be able to identify multiple-word skills. So, for example, ‘machine learning’ will show up as either ‘machine’ or ‘learning’. However, ‘machine’ could show up for other phrases than ‘machine learning’.
